Part Nine
801. How often do you change your mood in a day?

My mood changes horribly quickly, in the negative sense. It really doesn’t take a lot to slap me down from a massive high to a pretty bad low. Though it takes a long time to raise my mood in any significant sense.

802. When you ask people how they are doing you actually care about their answer or is it just polite?
I don’t tend to ask how people are unless I care about the answer. If it’s just politeness I might ask them what they’ve been up to or whatever.

803. Would you consider yourself to be very polite?
I’m quite a polite person

804. Do you like movies and books that involve nuclear holocaust?
I am a fan of the ‘dystopia’ genre, and I like ‘end of the world’ scenarios, so yeah, probably.

805. Have you ever had a lucid dream (a dream in which you knew you were dreaming and had complete control over what happened in the dream)?
Unfortunately not

806. Have you ever had a flying dream?
I don’t think so. I have a lot of falling dreams.

807. Have you ever had a lucid flying dream?
Nope

808. What’s the oddest law you ever heard of?
Something about taxi drivers having to carry hay in their boots for the horses that pull their carriages, or something.

809. What is the ultimate way to connect with another person?
Spending the night talking, not noticing the world go to sleep and wake up around you, finding out as much as you can about that person.

810. Can you be intimate with someone without touching him or her?
Yes, but it’s difficult. I am a very tactile person, I like hugging and that kind of thing.

811. Can men and women ever really be ‘just friends’ with no interest in anything more?
Yes. Platonic friendships are a possibility,

813. Are you addicted to this survey like drugs?
I’m not addicted to drugs.

814. If your signifigant other wanted to wait for marriage could you hold out or would you leave them (or would you cheat)?
Wanted to wait for what, to have sex? In that case, I’d try and talk them out of it. I don’t believe in waiting to get married. It’s stupid – what if you don’t ‘click’ in bed? It’s a big part of any romantic relationship. It’s what separates them from platonic.

815. What’s the longest sentence you can make using only words that start with the same letter as your first name?
I’m not feeling awake enough to answer that right now.

816. If you had a theme song what would it be?
No idea. If I think of one I’ll edit it in.

I can be.

People younger than me – most of my friends are older than me

No.

820. Do you refer to younger people as the kids?
If they’re kids, yeah.

821. Which is better: Poems that everyone can relate to or poems that are intensely personal to the author?
Poems everyone can relate to. Poetry that is intensely personal can be a huge risk – if it takes criticism, that can be very hurtful to the author.

822. Is it worse to be too hot or too cold?
Too cold.

823. Are you so flexible that you can put your feet behind your head?
No, not that bendy anymore.

824. Would you enjoy reading fairy tales written about robots?
That’s a very steam-punk idea. Sounds interesting.

825. Is smoking a turn on or gross?
It’s disgusting.

826. What is the one way you wouldn’t want to die?
Drowning is supposedly pretty painful, and I’ve never liked the thought of bleeding to death, or burning alive.

827. Which would look sillier on you: A cowboy hat or a Rasta hat?
I’ve tried – they both look pretty god damned silly.

828. Would you rather have a job doing something indoors or outdoors?
Indoors – I’m not a very out-doorsy type.

Meteorology is far more interesting.

Who knows.

Simon and I fell out last Friday, that was a pretty bad screw up.
